Man Indicted In Calhoun Square Bank Robbery

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – A 54-year-old man was indicted in St. Paul Federal Court Tuesday in connection with the Jan. 2 robbery of a U.S. Bank in Calhoun Square.

Thomas Scott Wright, who is currently in the Hennepin County Jail, was charged with one count of bank robbery.

Wright is accused of stealing about $1,700 from the bank. According to police reports, a man identified as Wright walked into the bank, placed a paper bag on the counter and said “Please just do it. I have a gun. It’s tough times and the holidays.”

Wright allegedly got the cash and walked out of the bank. He was arrested on Jan. 3, but the money was not recovered.

All these expectations @ Christmas ,pounded into the unaware mind by commercialism,makes some people depressed.They give their kids expectations and then when you have a harder year financially ,they don’t understand.Lying about Santa isn’t good,either.

So what. This guy should be swinging at the end of a rope. Hard times, my eye. No matter how “hard” the times may be, normal people do not take a gun into a bank and demand what is not theirs. Criminals do that. End this idiot’s heart beat and be done with it.
